Much easier to file bug reports (don't even attempt to file a bug report or a non official phone, even if the bug affects officially supported phones as well).

Much easier to pull in new code changes (just try to fix merge conflicts on a 200+ page commit)

A larger dev group to call upon in times of challenging code issues (IHO is only a half dozen devs, we do what we can with our limited resources)

Note- some might say having a kang is better, since you don't have to stay in-line with CM 100%. I will work with CM to gain inclusion for the OV, but I will always create kangs that suit the OV community's needs.

You guys know that the "root access off by default" thing means that you will have to do nothing more than check a box in the settings menu. Having root access disabled by default means that installing CM on their phones will be safer people who don't understand what root access does and why you should be careful with it.

I don't generally listen to music too often, but attempted to at work last night, (graveyard shift freight team at The Home Depot definitely needs a soundtrack!) Anyway, when using either Pandora or Tunein Radio, either app had issues freezing and after closing and reopening either app they failed to load properly without rebooting the phone. Pandora in particular cited a sync error of some sort when attempting to restart it after it froze. Never encountered this on any other roms. Music already downloaded on the phone plays just swimmingly btw

Another texting issue, sent about 7-8 messages to a friend this morning but on the last one the phone froze, hence "the last one" prompting a battery pull. All messages were sent and not still " sending " btw

Lastnite I put CM9,on my sons OV. He likes it so far,have'nt had any problems so far. Its really smooth and fast,he really doesnt care that the camera doesnt work. I check in on this,I still have 2 OVs. Thanks tdm.

Thanks. I'll check out these apps over the weekend. Not sure if much can be done about it though.

Sorry I haven't. I'll check out bluetooth this weekend or perhaps monday. But I hardly ever exercise call waiting, so odds of that getting much attention anytime soon are pretty slim.

I am having the issue of not being able to hold a phone conversation at all via bluetooth. cannot hear incoming audio and outgoing audio isnt audible either... Is this a issue that only i am experiencing ? I know it was a cm9 issue to begin with but your OP now reads that bluetooth is fixed.

thanks tdm i appreciate it! Greta work btw love this rom it is awesome if the bluetooth is fixed then i wont be looking at gb ever again.

I've heard that line (if "x" is fixed) from several different people for several different features. If you could all get together and agree on one feature to fix that would make my life so much easier.
